EAGLES TEAM NEWS CENTER

"The Eagles don’t believe how Scott played in December was a mirage or simply a hot streak, but rather an indication he can be a weapon for the offense," Berman writes. "Whenever they are on the field for training camp, Scott won’t be competing for a roster spot; he’ll be competing for more of an offensive role." Scott came off the bench for Jordan Howard and Darren Sproles over the last month of the season, averaging 87.5 yards (and 5.7 yards per touch) from Week 14 on. It sounds as if the 25-year-old's role on offense will expand even if the team adds another veteran (on minimum salary) to the mix, keeping Scott locked in as a late-round option with immediate value. Miles Sanders is still fully expected to handle 15-18 touches per game as Philadelphia's lead back.
